JohnMitchell 14 #5 July 3, 2011 Damn, whatever step or ladder they have on that plane, it sounds like a damn hazard. If it could happen once, it could happen again. I'd get that fixed. I'm glad she's gonna be okay. I'm old. I think at my age you've used up all your lame excuses and you don't care anymore. Besides, you're used to stuff hurting so what the hell. Why complain?

Louder, dear. eta: the lady in the OP has my respect. Hello nice ladyAll lady's and women, over 40 have my respect. Regardless of shape,size or outward appearence.Until they screw up. Then that female is on my long shit list. No matter what they do they do or say it's my list and their not getting off it. Of course no one cares if their on my shit list, but at least I can use my list to prevent the repeat offenders.DZ diva'sSome females have a attitude due to their poor choices in the past picking a mate that was a A hole and have a "attitude" that I can't blame them for.But when the same female cops that attitude with me just because of my gender thats another express ride to my shit list. FWIW I'm a old fart and proud of it. When your 87 yo whats the point of sueing? We won't live long enough to see the money.
